Introduction

Though Mitsurugi has a reputation as a basic, well-balanced character, he brings some new tricks to the table in Soulcalibur VI. His new Relic iaido stance provides some new mixup options as well as a way to express his hatred for projectiles. He also bears a new powerup mechanic, Shura Blade, which unlocks some upgrades to a few moves.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Strong neutral pokes with solid range Effective lows Solid backstep	Limited horizontal pokes Many unsafe attacks Very slow sidestep

Unique Mechanics

Shura Blade

After landing his Critical Edge (or certain other attacks) in a round, Mitsurugi powers up his sword with the new Shura Blade buff. This buff gives him access to a few new attacks, including a new very powerful i12 knockdown mid, 236B+K. Shura Blade, once unlocked, will last until the end of the round.
